Nope, it’s actually a Ford 2.3T from a Ford Thunderbird

Thanks for the feedback, it’s definitely old enough footage, that goes back to early digital cameras, it’s crazy to think that now our phones have a cameras that are 2 to 3 times better. On the upside everything else I’ll post will have better quality just based on technology. Thanks for watching

Thanks. It’s my understanding that the later twin plug head is the best flowing OEM casting, unfortunately they aren’t the best for not blowing head gaskets due to the length of the water jackets, but we are going to put that to the test. This particular head was ported, with a 490 esslinger cam and LS valve springs, it also came with a ported lower intake. The intake is one of the main reasons we are doing this swap, we wanted to get away from the unequal length of the factory 87-88 turbo coupe lower when combined with a open upper.

@@customizer4life I see ok I didn’t know that about the head gasket issues, too bad Esslinger alloy heads are no longer available those things were sick.

@@lamboferruccio Yea, supposedly but will see what it can handle, worse comes to worse we might go to a fire ring to prevent it, hopefully it’s stronger than the rumours. I would love to get my hands on one of those esslinger heads, it would be very cool!!!

That’s awesome!!! Thanks, we are definitely having fun with this build!!!

At the time, I had chopped out a section to add clearance for the OEM downpipe with the OEM turbo manifold from the 86 turbo coupe

This is a 1993 Audi S4 USA Spec built on the C4 chassis, also known as the 100 in base models, for North America these were built in 1992-1994, after 94 the model was changed to the A6/S6 for 1995-1997 if available in the particular market. All of these models were C4 chassis.

Approx, 540 hp at the crank

Thanks!!! Oh that’s a dangerous but very tempting idea!!! It worked well for my set up back then. Nice upgrades!!!

I completely agree, I was sitting there in the autocross tech area forever as they went back and forth trying to figure out if this truck was gonna be safe on the track. I guess I was the first to bring a truck to an event locally. Just putting this video together makes me want to build another Turbo Ranger!!

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks, I appreciate that!! If my memory servers me correctly the caliper brackets line up, use the SN95 rotors bearings etc on the ranger spindle. It has been a few years since I built this but I remember having aluminum dual piston pbr calipers which I think is the cobra sn95 (on RockAuto centric p/n 14161171 / 14161172) and the matching rotors for that model. They worked really well and I even kept the same oem manual brake master cyl, all and all it was a great combo!!!

Thank you for the info!

It comes from variety, all depends on what it is, here are a few, ECS Tuning, RockAuto, FCP Euro, 034 Motorsport, A-1 Racing, SummitRacing

Ha ha ha, glad I can help 😂 sounds like it would be one hell of a beast!!!!

@@customizer4life t bird ran 8.70s 1/8 mile full weight which was 3770 and just goggled the Manta and it was 2790 when new so probably 2600 with natures weight reduction it has going on lol

@@young11984That should put it in the mid 7s in the 1/8, I was definitely surprised on how quick the Volvo is, I think I weighed pretty close to 2600, we’ll have to see what it is after all the mods this year, should still be light and making more power too!!

@@customizer4life i was kind of thinking mid-high 7s then put by t brake C4 in it

OEM spoiler from Audi p/n 4A0071640A

@@customizer4life oh I want one now

They are absolutely astonishing!!!

Ah yes the classic, gas/6th/P move, well done!! 😂 Unfortunately none of my vehicles have that “park” selection….weird 😂

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

It has a 2.3L Turbocharged engine from an 80s Thunderbird turbo coupe, T5 transmission and 8.8 rear diff. Running on a microsquirt, T3/T4 turbonetics turbocharger, check out my main videos to see more

@@customizer4life will do for sure. Thanks man!

Thank you! 👍

Thank you

Believe it or not I daily this in summer on Manitoba / Winnipeg roads, the upgrades help to handle dodging potholes 😂

Thanks, the engine position is most noticeable in the early Audi vehicles with the in-line 5, although the transmission position was the same on all of the models, it wasn’t until 2009 when Audi moved the front axle forward on the transmission essentially moving the engine position rearward

Thanks for watching, I’m glad I inspired you, these cars are definitely a labour of love and absolutely worth it in the end. Thanks for saving another classic Audi

The car handled very well, you can even see in the footage, the car is very flat, not a lot of body roll. Being a large chassis car it does want to push though the corners so there is some under steer. The car was competitive with tuned WRXs and Golf Rs
